Question

Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian Revolution and life in the Soviet Union. The story includes many characters and ideas that represent people and events from Soviet history. One example is Napoleon, a character that represents Joseph Stalin. Like his historical counterpart, Napoleon rises to power, and then becomes corrupted by that power. He drives Snowball off the farm and into exile, which is similar to what Stalin did to Trotsky. He also oppresses the other animals, much like Stalin oppressed the people of the Soviet Union.
